Connect against a Peep

Often, very often, simply connecting at W2 in response to a peep such as B1 is the best answer. In fact, exceptions to this rule are so rare that people quote the old Go proverb "Even a moron connects against a peep".

A very long time ago, when I only started to play I met this W2 in a pro game. Beautiful. There are many ways to connect stones.

Another way to connect 02

W2 is joseki. A different and wise connection.


unkx80: In a number of games, I noticed that one player makes a peep, and then the other player makes a counter peep, the first player connects, and then the second player connects too.

Eventually, the first peep was answered by a connection, but not immediately.


Alex Weldon: I would like to propose a related proverb, "Sente punishes the peep."
